Strange Happenings In Twin Peaks: The Adventures Of Catherine Martell
~Profile Of Catherine Martell~
Birth Date: 11/20/40
Sign: Scorpio
Likes: Family Traditions
Education: Twin Peaks High School
Actor: Piper Laurie
Accomplishments:
Because my mother was very active in the PTA and League Of Women Voters when I was younger, I developed a strong sense of civic duty. I served on the Twin Peaks Town Council for 13 years and was president of the United Way for 2 terms. Someday, I plan to be chief operating officer of Ghostwood Country Club and Estates.
Strengths:
I speak fluent Japanese and French. I used to love to go to Halloween parties because I always won the "Best Costume" prize. One year, my husband Pete and I went as a fisherman and a mermaid. We took first place, but I had a terrible allergic reaction to the rhinestones.
Weaknesses:
I tend to be a bit spiteful when I don't get my own way.

~Strange Happenings~
Catherine (re: Dale Cooper): Didn't he want to talk to me?
Pete: Yeah, but we told him you were on your world tour- he should contact your press agent.
Catherine Martell stumbles upon Shelly Johnson- bound and gagged; hysterically trying to alert Catherine to bomb
ticking away behind her.
Catherine: "I can't understand a word you're saying, you have a thing in your mouth."
... Catherine frees Shelly and begins pondering life with burning timbers crashing down all around them.
Catherine: Do you know who called me here?
Shelley (thinking it would be a nifty plan to, perhaps, leave the premises, replies): No! I don't! I don't know anything!
Catherine: Be quiet! I'm trying to think.
Pete to Mr. Tojamura at the Great Northern wine and milk bar: You like musicals?
Tojamura: No.
Pete: Not even Fiddler on the Roof? It made me weep like a little baby.
Tojamura: I find adherence to fantasy troubling and unreasonable.
Pete: Yeah... You're not from around here are you?
Carrying a snack back to the table in a darkened kitchen, Pete is startled when Mr. Tojamura steps out of the
shadows and lays a big smooch smack on the lips.
Pete: Now you look here, buster! You just better get the hell outta here mister!
Tojamura/Catherine: Dummy! It's me!
'Mr. Tojamura' visits Ben's jail cell, revealing herself to actually be Catherine.
Catherine: Benjamin Horne, you are a slimy rat bastard and I intend to make whatever remains of your pathetic
existence a living hell.
Ben implores Catherine to prove him innocent of the charge of murder; to tell the sheriff about where they both
were the night of Laura Palmer's death.
Catherine: Why Ben, we've spent our entire adult lives lying to each other. Why spoil it with the truth now?
Pete at Great Northern bar chatting with Asian mystery man:
"Can I buy ya a saki?"
"No sank you"
"How 'bout a glass of milk?"
Catherine Martell to Ben Horne: In the sweetness of passing time, this hour will soon seem like a day. I'm not one of
your teenaged pea brain chambermaids.
Pete: I didn't want to get mink oil on my bedspread....
Catherine: You have mink oil in your head!
Catherine to Ben: My knothead husband may peek in the ledger and sniff out the creative arithmetic.
